“Come with me to the lab!” The man ripped the vial from Theresa’s hand and marched forward with pounding steps.
“Yes, sir.”
Theresa lowered her head and followed close behind him.
As they moved through the corridor, a heavy wave of perfume swept toward them.
A woman appeared, swaying her hips, her makeup painted loud and bright.
“Why are you here again?” The manager’s voice snapped with irritation the moment he saw her.
“Brother,” the woman sighed, her tone dripping with false sweetness, “that vile woman is leaving tomorrow. Tonight is my last chance. If I don’t savor it now, I’ll never get another chance to break her.”
Theresa froze in place. She knew that voice.
Her head snapped up.
Gabriella.
The manager’s jaw hardened. “Do not go too far. Tomorrow the higher–ups arrive. If something happens tonight, we’ll both pay for it.”
Gabriella chuckled, her blouse slipping open at the collar. “Relax. I heard you the first time.”
“I mean it,” the manager barked. “If anything happens again, I cannot protect you.”
“I know!” Gabriella purred, her lips curling into a smirk. “You’re the biggest name in this place. With you here, who would dare touch me? Tonight, I’m taking what I want.”
“Leave then.” His tone turned cold, his face dark.
He muttered under his breath and strode forward without sparing her another look.
Theresa’s fists clenched hard as Gabriella brushed past her.
She followed the manager for a few more steps, then glanced at the time. With one swift turn, she spun back and slipped after Gabriella.
The next day arrived.

The Unseen flickered to life once more.
Finished
The Workshop 3 manager eventually looked behind him and saw no one. Only Gabriella’s figure moved ahead in the distance.
Theresa was invisible to him.
The manager frowned, puzzled. The vial sat heavy in his palm.
He could not remember who had given it to him.
Where had the researcher gone?
He wondered if they’d ran away.
He paused for three short seconds, then shook it off.
The experiment was more important.
Tomorrow morning he would track the missing one down and deliver punishment.
Theresa, cloaked in silence, trailed Gabriella through sharp turns and winding halls until they reached the deepest edge of the underground farm.
Another door stood before them, locked tight.
Gabriella swiped her card with a loud beep. Unlike the others Theresa had seen, this one was guarded by the highest clearance. A red beam swept down, scanning them head to toe.
An alarm wailed from above.
“Scan complete. Two life forms detected. Confirm entry?”
“Two?” Gabriella muttered, her brows furrowing.
She turned her head, eyes narrowing at the empty corridor.
She scoffed.
“Figures. Another busted machine. Always spitting out false readings. Open the door already!”
The
gate unlocked with a groan.
Gabriella walked in without pause. Theresa slipped right behind her.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, Theresa’s heart thundered in her chest.

The presence of her aunt pulsed strong, undeniable.
A scream split the air from the room ahead.
Gabriella’s laugh rang out sharp and cruel. She shoved the door open. “How does it feel, tramp?”
The stench inside hit like a blow. Theresa’s stomach twisted.
In the center of the room, Tania was strapped to a steel bed. Her skin was torn and filthy. Her body writhed with crawling vermin.
Her arms and legs were covered in welts and bruises. Whip marks crossed her back.
